Why do I bother????  Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123  |
I was looking in Hot VW magazine the other day and saw that you could replace all the engine tin in a beetle for about $50 with Chrome engine tin.
Does anyone know of a supplier for 914 Engine Tin? One side of mine has some acid pitts in it (guess which side!!) and the other was creatively cut a little by the PO so having mine chromed is not an option. Any pics of chrome engine tin out there? I think it'd look good, but might just be gaudy as hell in person. Matt |

Actually I just blasted all of mine and painted it Semi-Flat Black...that is one of my favorite colors for engine/suspension components. Now I just need some new screws for my tin.
As far as the "show queens" thing, Yes, after I meet my goal and get the FTD (or at least first in my group!) at the autox, then I do want her to look like a show queen sitting there. I would like to be able to take her from an autox to a car show. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) QUOTE Chrome tin is only good for show queens. Really, it hold the heat in and the engine will run way hotter. Have it powder coated Gloss Black or whatever color and it will look nice for awhile until all the oily grime gets on it. I also don't intend for any oily-grime to get on it.....maybe she is a show queen...she doesn't leak... |
